Chinese term
后保留四位
Chinese to English
Bus/Financial
Law: Taxation & Customs
letter of appointment of foreign entreprise
Good Morning, Afternoon or Evening
you can find the context here: http://www.zhucegongsi.org/daibiaochu/20110227379.html
At point 9 they say: 表中所有填写的金额数小数点后保留四位。其中要求以美元填写的,如与原始币种不同,则一律按实际发生时或合同规定的国家外汇牌价折合成“美元”
now, I believe that 后保留四位 means: leave 4 blank spaces since after that it says: if you prefer to fill the amount with USD....etc etc..
So, my translation would be (more or less): in the form, where the amount of money should be filled, leave four blank spaces after the decimals of the sum. Is it more or less correct? I'm trying to find a more fluid translation but I need to understand if the meaning is right.
thanks everyone!:)

四位 is not equal to four blank spaces, but equal to four decimal places. You have to maintain 4 decimal places after the decimal point whenever you present (write out) a currency value (amount of money) on the form.
